[0018] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0019] The present application embodiment discloses a steel cage rapid prototyping intelligent workstation, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2, including a main reinforcement conveying and storage mechanism 11, a main reinforcement feeding mechanism 12, a main reinforcement welding mechanism 2, a main reinforcement supporting mechanism 13 and a winding reinforcement welding mechanism 14. The main reinforcement conveying and storage mechanism 11, the main reinforcement feeding mechanism 12, the main reinforcement welding mechanism 2, and the main reinforcement supporting mechanism 13 are arranged side by side in sequence. A track 15 is provided below the main reinforcement supporting mechanism 13, and a main reinforcement moving trolley 16 is slidably provided on the track 15. The winding reinforcement welding mechanism 14 is arranged on one side of the track 15.

[0020] In the embodiment of the present application, the main bar conveying and storage mechanism 11 includes a silo with a vertically defined bar storage trough. Multiple bar storage troughs are arranged side by side, and each of these troughs can store main bars of different sizes and lengths. A gripping structure, such as a lifting and movable mechanical claw, is located above the bar storage trough to grab the main bars in the trough and move them to the main bar loading mechanism 12. The main bar loading mechanism 12 includes a support frame arranged in a stepped manner, with outwardly extending support rods at the edge of each step. Different main bars can be placed on different steps of the support frame. A staff member manually pushes the main bars on the support frame toward the main bar loading mechanism 12. A guide plate is tilted and installed on the side wall of the support frame. A material stopper is installed on the guide plate and is raised and lowered by a cylinder. When the main bar rolls on the guide plate toward the main bar welding mechanism 2, the material stopper stops the main bar. When the main bar needs to be welded, the material stopper is lowered, allowing the main bar to slide toward the main bar welding mechanism 2.

[0021] The main reinforcement welding mechanism 2 includes a preparation machine 21. The preparation machine 21 is provided with multiple groups of preparation machines spaced parallel to the main reinforcement length. A welding head 22 is provided on the side of the preparation machine 21 near the main reinforcement support mechanism 13. A main reinforcement support mechanism 3 is provided on the side of the preparation machine 21 near the main reinforcement support mechanism 13, which is offset from the welding head 22. The main reinforcement support mechanism 3 includes a support bracket 31 vertically slidably connected to the preparation machine 21. The top of the support bracket 31 is provided with a support groove 32 for supporting the main reinforcement. A first support roller 33 is rotatably provided at the inner bottom of the support groove 32. The rotation axis of the first support roller 33 is horizontal and perpendicular to the axis of the main reinforcement. A first drive member is provided within the preparation machine 21 for driving the support bracket 31 to rise and fall. In the embodiment of the present application, the first drive member includes a first cylinder. The first cylinder is fixedly mounted within the preparation machine 21, and the piston rod of the first cylinder is vertically upward and fixedly connected to the support bracket 31.

[0022] The support slot 32 is located below the end of the guide plate. When the main bar slides down the guide plate, it falls into the support slot 32. After the main bar is welded to the stirrups supported and fixed on the main bar support mechanism 13 by the welding head 22, the support bracket 31 is lowered. After the main bar support mechanism 13 rotates the steel cage to a fixed angle, the support bracket 31 is raised again to begin the next round of main bar welding. A worker is on duty at the side of the main bar welding mechanism 2. When the main bar falls into the support slot 32, if the worker notices that the end of the main bar is not in the correct position, the worker can manually drag the main bar, using the first support roller 33 to reduce the resistance of the main bar during dragging, so that the main bar can be quickly moved into place.

[0023] Furthermore, second support rollers 34 are rotatably mounted on either side of the first support roller 33 within the support slot 32. The rotation axis of the second support rollers 34 is vertical. This allows the sides of the main reinforcement to contact the second support rollers 34 during the dragging process, further reducing the resistance to the main reinforcement during manual dragging.

[0024] In the embodiment of the present application, a guide plate 35 is fixed to the support bracket 31. The guide plate 35 is located on the side of the support slot 32 away from the main bar support mechanism 13. The upper surface of the guide plate 35 is higher than the second support roller 34. The upper surface of the guide plate 35 is inclined downward from the main bar feeding mechanism 12 toward the main bar support mechanism 13. When the main bar falls from the main bar feeding mechanism 12 to the main bar welding mechanism 2, the guide plate 35 guides the main bar and ensures that it falls smoothly into the support slot 32.

[0025] Furthermore, the rebar welding mechanism 14 and the main bar welding mechanism 2 are both located on the same side of the track 15, and are staggered with each other. The main bar moving trolley 16 can support and move the main bar and stirrup integrated steel cage welded on the main bar support mechanism 13 to one side of the rebar welding mechanism 14. The main bar moving trolley 16 is activated to rotate, and works in conjunction with the rebar welding mechanism 14 to wind the rebar tightly around the steel cage and weld it into shape.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as encompassing the preferred embodiments and all changes and modifications that fall within the scope of the present invention. Clearly, those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, the present invention is intended to encompass such changes and modifications as fall within the scope of the claims and their equivalents.
